Ojibway Indians of Saskatchewan

It was after anishinabe ogimak became aware of the seven fires prophecy around 1,000 years ago, when the Ojibway commenced to follow the prophecy and invade towards the west. Their journey took them to california, oregon, washington, british columbia, alaska, and then Siberia. They also invaded the central and northern portions of alberta, saskatchewan, manitoba, the northwest territories, and the yukon at least 1,000 years ago. Then after the whites invaded in the 16th century, another anishinabe westward invasion commenced from out of northwestern Ontario and northern Minnesota, at around the mid 1730s. From Ontario's northwestern woods, the ojibway indians of saskatchewan acestors came. That probably occurred around the mid to late 18th century. When the whites eventually invaded, the Indians of the Saskatchewan region were likely upset, especially the Anishinabe. I suspect that the so called 1885 Northwest Rebellion, was an extension of the 1876-1877 Black Hills War, and the 1877 Nez Perce War, and the war really occurred in the 1876-1878 time period. Treaty's 4,6 and 7, the Canadians signed with the Ojibway Indians of Saskatchewan, are very suspicious to say the least, particularly treaty 7, which mentions the Chipewyans who are really Chippewa's. Canada left them with nothing in southern Alberta's lands. The Chippewa's of that region fled far too the north probably. Below is a list of the Chippewa's of Saskatchewan. I have separated the list into three sections in order to let you understand what the whites have done. No Cree Indians lived west of James Bay. The Cree Indians listed below are really Ojibways who have been forced by the whites to lose their identity. I start with the Ojibways who are recognized by the whites as being Ojibway, then next go to the Ojibways of Saskatchewan who are in the process now, of losing their identity, then got to the section which presents the list of the Saskatchewan Ojibways who have been forced to lose their identity. They include both the Chipewyan Cree.
